POTD: RU LIVING in a BUBBLE?

Today's photo-of-the-day is from Portland, Oregon. President Obama visited the city for a fundraiser downtown and a speech at Nike headquarters in Beaverton promoting the Trans-Pacific Partnership free trade agreement. He was met by several hundred protestors, including the woman in the photo above who went to some trouble to make not just a sign but a costume. The whole scene struck me a little like something from the television series Portlandia.

Had I had my camera handy when I saw her, today's photo-of-the-day might have been instead even more Portlandia. It was the woman standing in the roadway median holding a cardboard sign on which she had written, "Homeless Vegan."
